Hi,
Can you confirm you actually have access to the Be My AI beta? There should be a tab for it on the bottom of BME, if so.
You may have to update the app if you haven't. Otherwise, check near the bottom of the share sheet, past the list of apps you would normally see. The option is kinda hidden down there.
Have you checked that the āDescribe with Be My Eyesā action is enabled in the share sheet?
If not, head to the very bottom of the share sheet and double tap on Edit Actions. On the resulting screen you can enable and disable actions to be shown on the share sheet.
Make sure that BeMyEyes is updated to the latest version. I don't know how to share stuff from the app but was able to do it from dystopia and its share sheet with no issues.
I've removed the app as I no longer need it so can't help anymore than this post.
I just got access to the beta this morning and have been having it describe different photos in my library. It's really cool!
I know Apple says you can use mark down to put in your own descriptions of photos in the photos app. Anyone know how to do that? I wonder if you could just copy the message that be my AI generates, and then paste and tweak it to have your own descriptions in the photos app. It would be cool to not have to have be my AI generate a new description if you've already done it and just want to scroll through your photos.
When VO speaks the text of the photo, do a three-finger quadruple tap. You will hear the text spoken again and at the end of that, VO will tell you copied to clipboard. From there, the possibilities are endless of what you can do with that text.
You could name the photos and create text on them and then create a iCloud photo album and link that to your AppleTV screen saver and know what is on screen. Last I checked you could get discriptions of the photos to read while on the screen saver.

Check the bottom tab bar

Donāt think thereās a way toā¦
Donāt think thereās a way to import from the app (yet?).
How?
How do I check to see if the action is enabled? I did an edit actions thing and nothing was there either for something I could insert.
Update your apps.

Took me forever to find it too. It's really hidden in the sharesheet.
